Mondoy, March 4, 1 957- The Daily Nebraskgrr- - - Page 3 Jayhawks Win Again: r Husker Thinclads Finish Third; Gardner, Meet's High Pointer By JIM COURTLAND Staff Sports Writer The University of Kansas track men waltzed to their sixth consecu- live win in the Big Seven Indoor Track Meet last Friday and Satur day by copping 64 points in the twelve events and rolling up an alRime Jayhawk indoor high for scoring honors. The efforts of Mis souri University and Nebraska University to outdistance the-Eas- ton thinclads were not even enough to put a serious scare into the Jayhawk men. Kansas racked up a good num ber of points by winning the 440, shot put, mile, two mile, mile re lay and the broad jump. The re serve depth of Kansas was excep tionally helpful to" the Jayhawk win as they added to their point total by placing 1, 3, 4 and 5 in the mile event as well as 1, 2, and 4 la the quarter distance. The points contributed to the Kansas cause by these secondary point winners greatly widened the mar gin between the cindermen of Kan sas and those of the Missouri club. Thus the Easton mentored men continue' their reign of the Big Seven track events and if the re ports of the stellar performers coming from the ranks of Kansas freshmen for next year's events, the monarchs might even be hard er than ever for anyone to subdue. The Husker effort could produce but a third place rating but this alone Is far from the total facts. Coming from a dismal last place showing of 4Vi points last year the Sevigne men managed to. gar ner 30- points for this . year's meet and provide the meet's big gest point getter The man is the fleet footed Jamaican Jet, Keith uaraner, wno sped to a win in the higlThurdle event and after a brief rest came back to lose to Henry VViebe (MU) in the low stick event and to Gene O'Connor (KS)..The sophomore speed demon also ran the final leg of Nebraska's relay try and sped over the spruce planks in a time of :50.4, not bad considering the open 440 winner was clocked with a time of :49.8. s Two other Husker thinclads were able to tie records posted In the Nebraska indoor track bests but their efforts were only good enough for third places in their re spective distances. Knolly Barnes and Bob Elwood put forth a val iant effort but the best of Kansas proved their infallibility in the t and two mile events. Knolly Barnes bested a mark of all-time Nebraska Fieldhouse competition with a time of 1:55 in the half mile distance but the try was good enough for only third place in the score books. The other man who bettered an all-time Fieldhouse mark was Bob Elwood in the two mile run. His time of 9:30 was the best in our University's history but as compared with Jerry Mc Neal of Kansas and Thomas both of Missouri was good enough for only the third position in that race. Other Husker points were tal- Western Illinois State Cops Title: Gymnasts Place Second; Strickler Stars For NU lied by Bill Marten fourth in the low obstacle course; Bill Hawkins and Chuck Wollasten, third and fifth in the broad jump respective ly and Dale Knotek who tied for event. Nebraska's mile relay team who combined for a third in that race was Don Ficke, Don House, Bruce Skinner and Gardner. The Husker time in that event was tied with the Buff's efforts but the Jamaican Jet streaked across the anchor man to evade a tie. Coach Frank Sevigne 's only comment was after the meet: "It's a lot better than 1956." Coming from 4 points to 30'A points in one year is certainly not a poor showing. Gridder Hates KP John Flara, a sophomore half back on the University of Pitts burg football team is back wash ing dishes. Flara, a scholarship athlete, was called upon to do a little work at varsity hall where Pitt's athletes dine. The Midland, Pen nsylvania flash was assigned a dishwashing position and in look ing around he saw that none of the other members of the travel ing squad had similar jobs, so, he just up and quit school. . Flara, at the urging of friends, returned last week and said, "They challenged me to eat my pride and go back to washing dishes. So here I am." Nebraskan Wayne Strickler won high individual honors in the 11th annual All-College Invitational meet held in Manhattan, Kansas, Saturday afternoon. Wayne com piled a total of 1,017 points which were based on his scoring in four events. Strickler was spectacular win ning one event, taking three sec onds and seventh. His winning ef fort come in the High Bar, his most consistant event this year. Wayne showed his best form of the year on the side' horse taking a second to teammate Kenny Kohl er. Strickler also came in second in the parrellel bars and flying rings, two events which were right up his alley during the regular season. He also scored in the free exercise taking a seventh. The meet was won by Western Illinois State with 102 points. The Cornhuskers came in a strong second, scoring 95 points, their first loss in the All-College since 1951. Finishing behind the Huskers were the Air Force Academy, 83 points, Colorado State, the pre meet favorite 75 V points, Colorado, 19, Kansas State, 13, and Mankato State, 4. The other teams failed to score. Husker Kohler continued his domination of the side horse winning the event and qualifying for the NCAA meet to be held March 23 at Anapolis Maryland. Kohler has been outstanding on the horse in every meet this year. Bob MacDonald also scored for the Huskers on the side horse taking a tenth. The horse was the outstanding event for the Nebras kans. MacDonald had a tie for eighth in the parallel bars to cap a fairly successful afternoon for himself. - Ervin Krist scored in two events for Nebraska taking a seventh in both the rings and tumbling. Krist has been a consistant scorer for the Huskers all year. Larry (Bucky Beaver) Brown rounded out the scoring for Ne braska, with a sixth in tumbling This was the best form the sopho more has shown this year and should give warning that he will be giving teams trouble for a long time to come. Three dual meets were also figured in with the scpring. The Huskers won two and dropped one. The wins came at the expense of Colorado State and Mankato State, while the loss was to meet champion, Western Illinois State. This put the Husker mark at six wins and three losses In duals for the year.

The meet will be divided into two classes, the college section and the high school division. The college section will contin 10 weight divisions while the high school section will have twelve. Husker Lineup Jayhawks Cinch Tie: S(U Dovns lovja State urts: Wins Kansas, Iowa State and Okla homa emerged victorious in Big Seven basketball action this past weekend. The Cyclones virtually knocked Kansas State out of championship contention with a 69-67 overtime victory. Led by Gary Thompson and John Crowford, Iowa State led 31-26 at the halftime only to see the Wild cats surge back to send the game into an extra period. The Cyclones led throughout the game until the final seconds when a basket by Jack Parr and a free throw by Roy Dewitz tied the con test 65-65 at the end of regulation play. In the overtime, Crawford and Thompson each dropped in two free throws to give Iowa State its narrow margin. Over in Boulder, Colorado, the Kansas Jayhawks cinched at least a tie for the loop title with a 68-57 victory over the Buffs. The tri umph was the Jayhowks' ninth in 10 league games. Colorado stayed with Kansas un til late in the second period when the Jayhawkers made their surge. A 20 foot jump shot by Joe King with five seconds left to play gave Oklahoma a 70-68 victory over Mis souri Saturday at Norman, Okla homa. Missouri led 42-25 at the half, but a terrific Sooner comeback, paced by King, brought victory. It was the final game for the Tigers and left them with a 4-8 conference record. Kihg was the game's high scorer with 29 points, while Lionel Smith had 21 and Sonny Siebert 20 for the losers.

Leading the Nebraskans was Bill Tagney who beat Cotter in the diving event for the fourth time this year.
